Three information technology students from the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP)—Taing Muyleang, Chan Panha, and Eung Laimeng—recently participated in a fully funded study visit to Singapore. This opportunity was made possible through the collaboration of Open Development Cambodia (ODC) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
